— KatharinaHonestly brilliant. It’s like a podcast — but for sightseeing. You listen while you’re actually looking at the place. We’ve already booked the Schönbrunn tour for tomorrow. The only thing to fault is that there are only two tours so far.
— FlorianAfter the Kapuzinergruft (imperial crypt) puzzle I had a headache. No, kidding — it was a genuinely cool afternoon. And I’m Viennese myself, but I still learned a ton about my own city. Can only recommend it.
— MaxNow those were creative puzzles — and a few of them genuinely had us stuck! Highly recommended for puzzle fans.
— HannaSuch a fun afternoon. Already up for another one.
